"Why did Miss suddenly say that?"
"Because I feel calmer when I'm around you. Because ever since the attacks and the terror came to me, I have often felt suddenly frightened, anxious, and anxious. It's only when I'm with you that I feel safe" Lara said.
Seeing the look on Lara's face at this time, Vander also so not bear at all. Remembering he had witnessed for himself how the girl was frightened to the point that her body trembled. "Does Miss want to stay here with me?" Ask Vander.
"I would, even if you're justifying," Lara replied shyly.
Of course allow, this is Lara's apartment anyway. Only, the problem for Vander himself is that he is afraid of not being able to hold back. He was worried that he was even becoming acaman for Lara. Remembering Vander who just smelled the scent of Lara's clothes, often already made himself excited, especially if Lara one place to stay with him. But recalling how Lara's face looked in fear, plus her confession this time Van seemed to have no other choice.
"If you don't allow Vander, I'll just go home" said Lara then stepped past Vander who was still quiet.
"Miss you stay here!" Vander.
Lara's steps stopped, she turned her head back and immediately walked closer to Vander and hugged the man. "Thank you" Lara said on her tiptoes, hugging Vander. Van himself was shocked and confused what to do, his hands did not even dare to hug Lara back.
Lara Baru realized what she was doing, she immediately took off her embrace from Vander and apologized for the reflex to hug him.
"It's okay Miss," Van replied rather clumsyly. Actually Vander likes to be hugged like that.

Miranda who was just preparing for dinner in the dining room instead got a call from Lara all of a sudden.
Mira: Hello, what's wrong Miss?
Lara: Mira today I will stay at Van's house.
Mira: What?! Tu-wait, you're not kidding, are you Miss?
Lara: No, I told the waiter at home too. Um— just relax I'll be fine here so don't worry. Yea!
Mira : Miss! Hello Miss Lara!
*tut...
"Since it sucks, it's turned off the phone!" Mira is upset.
Seeing his daughter angry, Mr. Jah who was also in the dining room asked, "Son, why are you angry?"
"Dad, Miss Lara she's staying at Van's apartment!" Mira Obviously.
"Then what's wrong? Didn't Miss Lara spend the night in Mr Van's apartment yesterday?" Bright Mr. Jah with his leisure.
"Yes, too, but..." Mira still looks uneasy.
"Son, I know you think Miss Lara is like your own sister but you also have to remember, Miss Lara is an adult now, she has the right to make any choice for herself. So you should appreciate that too."
Hearing the wise explanation of the father Mira also began to understand. "Yes, I understand Dad."

Lara finally decided to spend the night in Van's apartment. Honestly, the girl was very happy to spend the night in Van's apartment, so she could see Van's habits if he was not working. I'm so happy! Lara said in her heart.
"Miss why?" Van asked to see his boss smiling to himself.
"Eh ti-it's okay. I just— was thinking, where will I sleep?" Lara was confused considering that in this apartment there was only one room.
"Miss please sleep in the room, let me sleep on the sofa."
"Eh ta-but the time you slept on the couch?" Lara felt bad.
"It's okay I'm used to it! Besides, where do I sleep on the couch? Is Miss Lara willing to share a room with me?" Bright Vander.
"Eh, ap-what do you mean?" Lara's face turned red hearing Vander say that.
"Mom-that's not what I meant... Um—"
"Hey, I was talking like that" said Vander.
In her room Lara checked the bed linen and the state of her room. The room is quite neat but like a bit dusty, it seems like Van rarely cleans his room. Then Lara checked Van's wardrobe, there were clothes that hung also the average shirt and work coat for work, the rest t-shirts and non-formal pants and jackets.
"Hem, he's not the kind of guy who likes to be neat?" Thought Lara saw the state of the contents of the Van closet that was a bit messy. "Eh wait, talk about clothes...?" Lara just remembered that she did not have a change of clothes. "God my fool, how can I not think about clothes!" Lara held her head.
Lara came out of the room and called Van.
"Yes Miss what's wrong?" Van came approaching.
"Vander I don't have a change of clothes, so I intend to buy it. You want to take me shopping for clothes?"
"Of course, it also happened to be seven in the evening how about we find food," said Vander.
"Oh yes you're right." But Lara says she doesn't want to eat dinner at the restaurant, she wants dinner with a home-cooked menu. "So it's better after shopping for clothes we stop by the supermarket first buy groceries to cook here," suggested Lara.
"If you want a Miss like that then fine."
"Then I take the bag first and then we leave" said Lara then went to get her bag.

Jeden was seen drinking at the bar accompanied by beautiful women. Suddenly a tall, slender woman wearing a tight blue dress came up to him.
"Good night Jeden Lee" said the woman who sat next to Jeden.
Jeden squinted his eyes at the beautiful woman around 30 years old. "Who are you Miss? Are you interested in me?" Ask Jeden while teasing her.
The woman ordered a glass of drink before finally inviting Jeden to talk.
"Mr Jeden before we speak, can you get those women around you to leave?"
Jeden smiled slightly and told the women next to him to go as the woman asked. "So what's up Miss—"
"Eva, my name is Eva I'm from the Crux organization."
[Crux itself is a black organization, whose services are often hired to help people who carry out illegal activities such as, illegal arms trade, distribution of illegal drugs, to special missions to eliminate others]
"What can I help you with?"
"I heard that you asked someone yesterday for help to finish off a man named Van, did you?"
The originally relaxed Jeden was suddenly serious when the woman mentioned Van's name.
"You know Van?" Ask Jeden.
"Yes, I know very well who that man is. And if you agree, I'd like to make an offer of cooperation with you" Eva explained.
"What kind of offer do you mean?"
Eva smiled faintly and explained the cooperation she meant to Jeden.
"So you want Van back in Crux?"
"Yes! Although Mr. Jeden is not good at fighting but your brain is quite cunning, so I think we can work together," said Eva.
Jeden looks to be considering an offer from Eva. "Well, I want to help you Miss Eva, you're not interfering in my personal affairs."
"Agreed!" Reply Eva.
The two also shook each other's approval signs.
